Start over again... go read the rules, there are lots or problems with your
question: http://www.ncjweb.com/naqprules.php
First, there is no m/m class, only single op and multi-2.
Second, to count as a 'break' it must be 30 minutes.
Third, if you are the only operator, not using spotting nets, or any other
help you are single op, and there is no 10 minute rule so you can change
band as often as you want, which is what the other guys were doing... so
limber up and figure out how to change bands fast and make more qso's and
multipliers as long as you are single op.
